Kris Bryant Firehose of Splooge Thread

[CT III]

OPS by month since his callup:

.864
.879
.805
.639
1.042
.901
.878
.860
1.081

The dude is indeed a robot. He's had one not-good month out of nine. Even a great hitter like Rizzo will go through noticeable slumps where he can't do much right at the plate. Bryant seems immune to that.

Although to be fair to our guy Tony here is his month-by-month OPS over the same period:

.948
1.049
.891
.785
.885
.833
.961
.792
1.278

He's as much of a robot as Bryant and his on base skills never slump (his lowest OBP in a month since the start of last year is .353. At his absolute worst the man is still 35% of the way to being on first base every time he steps to the plate, which is absolutely staggering), he just seems to have a week or two every month or every other month where those pop ups annoy the crap out of us so his slumps feel more noticeable.

TL:DR; in forkspeak this team basically has Gehrig and Ruth in the middle of the lineup day in and day out and the older one of the two is 26. Good shit.

Us? Hey, don't put your hang ups on the rest of us, man. I could never be mad at Tony Ballgame.

On the one hand, good god.
On the other hand, looking at calendar months is kind of arbitrary.  What if he was awful from the 15th to the 15th and amazing the other two weeks of each month?

Also, this is as far as I'm willing to take this discussion.

It's not unreasonable for Rizzo to jack three out tonight. These guys are that fucking good, and the Reds are that fucking bad.

I can't do 30 day windows, but I can get pretty close.

Here's his OBP across daily 30 game windows since the start of 2014. I removed the first 30 games of each season. In terms of not being bad, he's pretty steady.

22 homers and it's not even July yet. Boring.

So my nephew is turning 11 in a couple weeks. Cubs anything. (Except his mom has told me that a Try Not To Suck shirt is off limits. White people, amirite?) I already got him a home white jersey with his own name on the back (hey, he's a kid) last year, but now he wants a blue, and he has apparently already left the own-name douchiness in the rear view, though he apparently has not yet internalized the inherent douchiness of the blue top. Anyway, he has always been a Rizzo Guy. And he's got a couple boxes of Rizzo's on the way. But before I got the jersey, I just figured I'd confirm, so I asked him yesterday...

"Bryant. I'm not proud of it. Actually, yeah, I guess I am."

More selfish homers from a selfish jerk. Give me Grichuk and Piscotty any day.

I'll allow it.

And I'd recommend #27.  I have a feeling that Russell will still be kicking ass when the kid turns 30.

[Quality Start Machine]

His OPS the last couple weeks is under .800.

So any time he wants to go back to being awesome would be aces.

For awhile there Bryant/Willson/Rizzo/Russell were all hotter than shit and they kept losing because the pitching sucked. Now the pitching looks better and only Rizzo is still kinda hot out of that group, and Zobrist and Heyward aren't picking up any of the slack whatsoever.

.261 /.306/.304/.610 since the break. On a .375 BABIP

K-BOOM. About time someone roughed up this bum.
